Yay! Good morning, everyone, and rejoice! It's 9 am, time to check out our Facebook auction! Facebook not your thing, but you're interested in an item that we've listed? Let us know. We'll be happy to work with you. The weather's looking spring-like again but if we wait five minutes we'll see more snow, trust me on this. We will be accepting vendors again soon. Booth space is limited, so if you know someone that's looking for a spot, have them get in touch with us! Prices as follows: 5' x 7'...

What's New Hiya everybody! Like most of you across Ontario, we've been experiencing milder-than-normal weather and watching the snow gradually melt away—while wondering what surprises nature will throw at us between now and spring! Hopefully nothing too nasty. Anyway, our weekly Facebook auction will soon be upon us. Monday's treasures include some stone spheres, raw amethyst, pottery, jewelry, pins, vintage cigarette cases, and other surprises. Be sure to check it out! I'll send an email...

An architectural whoops.

Oh, This One's a Doozy. Ha ha, whoops. Hiya Reader, long time no chat! I'm writing to you today because, well, we're running one of our Facebook auctions tomorrow. Wait, wait, wait, hold on. It's cool. It's good! You might like this. We went a bit overboard with it. Normally, mom goes around and takes pictures for about 35 or 40 lots and we call it good. I looked away for just a minute this time and... Tomorrow's auction is 88 lots. Whoops! You'll find signs, some vintage glassware, toys,...

A piece of paper with "Hello" written in cursive with fancy markers.

Just Checking In. We know it's been a while. We're Treasures by the Locks, a little vintage-plus store in Fenelon Falls, Ontario. We used to run auctions on Hibid.com, but have switched gears to try other things, instead. Hibid is cool and all, but we simply don't have the room to maintain monthly, 200+ lot auctions. The reason we're reaching out now is to see if you're still interested in hearing from us, about all the other stuff we do. We are, after all, still experimenting with auctions...
